Statecharts are too complex IMHO. I prefer to compose simple state machines to model a complex behavior instead of building one giant statechart.

It's guerilla marketing :)

Yes it is, but timing is key. Not too early and not too late.

Blaming the user again aren't we?

Patience.

You can do user testing and have developers watch.

Aside - It's funny to me how many developers still don't like to call their craft engineering and how fast LLM users jumped on the opportunity.

Following the underwhelming release of chatgpt5 do you think the AI bubble is going to crash soon?

I'm pretty sure every engineering field calls it designing. Perhaps software devs feel a need to inflate what they actually do.

Aside - Why do we need the word "architecting" anyway? Why not just use designing?

AI tools are automating bigger pieces of software work every month. Do you think that will shift the market away from traditional full-time roles toward contract or freelance gigs?…

So far I've managed to overcome the itch to write my own solution for this problem. It is tempting though.

How do you handle deadlines and setbacks?

Trello was the first tool I used. Drag & drop and the whole UI was fun but it's hard to see the big picture.

I've used several tools over the years but no one fits my needs well enough. I wonder if I miss some magic tool. Which tool work best for a single person operation?

I'm working on a tool to automate 80% of my job as a software developer. It's too early to share but the basic idea is specification in, working code out.
